vodka sauce

Some nights, only pasta will satisfy. On these nights I whip up a batch of brown rice pasta a la Kim, and the family is VERY happy! It is similar to pasta with vodka sauce, but I use white wine instead. No alcohol is actually needed if you don't wish to use it (see notes below).

I use brown rice pasta as an alternative to wheat pasta. Even though the rice isn't soaked prior to making the pasta, it is a healthier alternative to durum wheat pasta as it's gluten free and easier to digest.
